4. Mad Max: Fury Road – May 15

Dir. George Miller

Filmmaker George Miller reboots his Ozploitation trilogy with a completely new story and lead thirty years after the release of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Character actor Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception) takes on the Mad Max mantle, playing the post-apocalyptic character wandering the wilderness and mourning the loss of his wife and child. Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron plays the villain, Imperator Furiosa—blazing her own trail through the desert with little regard for what lies ahead of her. Expect the creator of the original trilogy to provide his own brand of action, character development, and story to his newest entry. Although not a continuance of the Mad Max trilogy, Miller decided to tell Max Rockatansky’s story a bit differently for his new adventure.
